Rebirth of Beigu Sirius

Two big ones and one small one went to Changyang Town again, it was just the time when the lights came on.

The low tile-roofed houses are staggered among the green onion hills, taking advantage of the sun that is about to sink in the west, the windows are lit with dim lights.The night market has not yet become lively, and the hawkers along the street have already set up their stalls, and the shouts and footsteps resound together, echoing in the Qingshi street.

At the corner of the long street, Yun Zhuo wandered around, bought some freshly steamed sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, spread them on oil paper and handed them to Bai Xiao: "Here, try it while it's hot. The cakes from this store were my favorite when I was young. "

Hearing this, the young boy carefully picked up a piece, lowered his head and sipped it, the white frosting stained the corners of his lips.

"How about it?"

Yun Zhuo tilted his head and smiled expectantly: "Is it much more delicious than the sugar man in Guazhou City?"

"Mmm, um, delicious."

Bai Xiao nodded vigorously, there was a faint flash of water in his eyes, and his fingertips crumpled the greased paper under the cake.

"That's good."

In the evening, the breeze blew across the long street, and the lights of Wanjia were quiet and gentle. Yunzhuo rubbed his hair: "When the time comes, don't say that brother Qianxuan missed an appointment and lied to you!"

Xiao Tuanzi, whom I hadn't seen for three years, has grown from a little kid around the waist to a handsome young man who is almost as tall as him. You can see the charm of the old man.

Yun Zhuo glanced at his waist. Although the gold tassel tassels had faded in color, they were still hanging quietly, swaying gently in the wind.

Although the rivers and lakes have changed, the old man is still there.It can't be said that there is no regret, nor can it be said that it is unfortunate.

"Let's go."

After a while, Situ Lin, who came slowly from behind, pointed to a noodle stall under a small shed on the street, and held hands, one big and one small: "I'm hungry all the way from Yun's house, let's go get something to eat."

When the lights on the street were brightly lit, the three of them sat around a small table, and three bowls of Yangchun noodles were served steaming hot.

"Huh... so hot, so hot..."

As soon as he smelled the fragrance, Bai Xiao, who was already so hungry, picked up a few chopsticks in a hurry, and the white air hit his face, making him "wheeze" and blow.

"Don't worry, eat slowly."

Seeing the boy gobbling it up, Yun Zhuo, who took out his chopsticks from the cage, smiled and said, "Weihan, it's true that I've eaten 'snakes, insects, mice, and ants' all over Miaodi, and now I suddenly see the Central Plains pasta, and I forget it for a while. gone?"

"Brother Qianxuan!"

The little boy raised his head with his mouth pursed, the noodle bowl was half empty.

His face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or from the heat: "Forgotten? Me, how can I have it?"

"Really not?"

Yun Zhuo reached out and scraped the soup on his chin: "The soup is all over my face."

"I……"

Bai Xiao knew he was wrong, her eyes bulged, and she stuck out her tongue at him.

"puff."

Situ Lin, who was holding a chopstick of white noodles to dip into the chili sauce dish, looked up and saw one big and one small staring at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Rin."

The others suddenly let out a laugh, Yun Zhuo looked over with blank eyes: "What are you laughing at?"

Situ Lin turned the chopsticks leisurely, narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm laughing that in this world, one thing falls into another, and in the end it turns into a circle."

"Huh? What circle?" Yun Zhuo blew on the noodles on the chopsticks, not knowing why.

"Look, I can't do anything with Zihan, Zihan can't do anything with Bai Xiao, and Bai Xiao can't do anything with you..."

Situ Lin turned his left wrist, pulled out Pingping from his waist, and "slapped" Yun Zhuo's chin: "And you..."

Yun Zhuo looked down at the black fan bone: "...and me?"

Situ Lin had a half smile but not a smile: "And you have nothing to do with me."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Yun Zhuo took a gouging look at him, and blocked the fan with his left hand without chopsticks: "What do you mean I can't do anything with you?"

"Oh……"

Seeing the tricks, Situ Lin was not annoyed, he twirled his wrist cleverly, and pulled the fan from the side, the folding fan was still firmly touching Yun Zhuo's chin.

"January 21, Xiaoxue, far away from my father and elder brother today, I have to spend some time with Brother Lin in Sichuan, eat some spicy roasted rabbit meat, and drink a pot of wine..."

He closed his eyes, and slowly recited the words in someone's diary booklet.

"you!"

Having been trampled on the tail of a youthful embarrassment, Yun Zhuo stared wide-eyed: "Don't mention this again!"

"Oh."

Situ Lin's tone was calm, and his fan didn't move at all: "Then let's talk about the Lingyun Conference and the real and fake newcomers from Wuming Village?"

Yun Zhuo was exasperated: "No way!"

"That……"

Situ Lin smiled softly: "Is there any pancakes that San Shao made for me?"

"All, don't mention it again!"

Yun Zhuo was about to jump up against the table, and with a strong hand, he pushed down the fan with malicious intentions.

"Haha, brother Qianxuan..."

The great revenge was avenged, and Bai Xiao laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled: "You, the friend in Shuzhong you mentioned at the beginning, couldn't it be Brother Situ?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?!"

When the words fell, Yun Zhuo's eyes almost turned to the sky, and he mourned in his heart: "Isn't it just such a bad relationship in my life?!"

"Well, it's still the evil fate of 'Share the blessings, share the troubles'."

Situ Lin retracted his fan with great satisfaction, and looked at Shang Yunzhuo with indignant eyes.

"Hey, brother Qianxuan, don't be angry!"

Seeing that Yun Zhuo had nothing to say with puffed cheeks, Bai Xiao hurriedly patted him: "Brother Situ bullies you, but he is indeed a good person."

"What kind of person?! If he is a good person, there are still bad people in the world?"

Yun Zhuo blew his beard and stared.

"But ah..."

Bai Xiao kicked his legs on the small stool, and said seriously: "If there is no Brother Situ today, wouldn't Brother Qianxuan really be wronged for the rest of his life regarding the Palace of Flame and Poison?"

"Uh……"

What happened during the day was mentioned by the young boy, Yun Zhuo scratched his head, remembering the man's generous help: "This, it seems to be the same?"

Sarcasm is sarcasm, but if there is no such person, and my identity is leaked today, I am afraid that I will really be punished by my elder brother in Junfengtang.

He struggled in his heart for a moment, finally let out a low cough, reluctantly stretched out his hand and knocked on the table in front of Situ Lin: "Then this time, I won't bother with you."

"Thank you, Third Young Master, for not remembering the faults of villains." Situ Lin went down the donkey along the slope.

"However, speaking of the Palace of Flame and Poison..."

After picking up two mouthfuls of noodles, Yun Zhuo lowered his head and took a chopstick of chopped pepper from Situ Lin's hot plate, and said in confusion, "Brother Lin, how did you know that my second brother got a silver needle in his head?"

Situ Lin pushed the plate of hot sauce towards him in a silent voice: "If I say that the flame poison was destroyed this time, it was because I fanned the flames and managed it step by step. Therefore, before they were all captured, I had already made a fuss about the people in the palace that day. You know a thing or two about it, can you believe it?"

"Oh?"

Both Yun Zhuo and Bai Xiao were breathless.

Situ Lin explained: "You know, the Palace of Flame and Poison has controlled Gu to harm people for many years, but the imperial court has never sent troops to destroy it. Why?"

Yun Zhuo stirred a few noodles in the chopsticks and bowls, and thought: "First, because of its remote location, the imperial court can't reach it; second, because the victims are all ordinary people, and there are only a few of them. "

"good."

Situ Lin nodded, and said again: "Unfortunately, a year ago, they sold Gu to the wrong person."

Bai Xiao put down the noodle soup he had just sipped, raised his eyes and said, "Sold to the wrong person? What should I say?"

"There is a kind of Remnant Snow Strange Gu in this Palace of Flame and Poison, the cold poison is extremely overbearing, it can kill the victim within a day, and there is no trace on the body."

Situ Lin said: "Three years ago, they were lucky enough to refine one, which was originally sold to a down-and-out official. court officials."

"A court official?"

Yun Zhuo asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the Palace of Flame and Poison offended the imperial court by mistake?"

Situ Lin nodded, and said again: "The younger sister of this powerful minister is a concubine in the palace, and she has a long history of grudges with the noble concubine, so she asked for this Gu from her own brother, and went to the palace banquet one day, intending to poison her. Did you know Because the imperial concubine was pregnant, the food was used by another concubine by accident, and she died suddenly on the spot."

"What, this..."

Yun Zhuo was surprised: "Did they involve the poisonous Gu in the harem battle?"

"That's right, that's why I say that the Palace of Fire and Poison has lost its plan."

Situ Lin said again: "If an ordinary person is poisoned to death, no one will sharpen his head to find out the whole story, let alone destroy his entire sect. But this time, by accident, he poisoned a beloved concubine in the palace to death. This suddenly caused a big incident and attracted countless investigations."

"It's true that you will kill yourself if you do many unrighteous actions."

Thinking of all the past deeds of the cult, Yun Zhuo knocked on the table and felt that it deserved it.

However, after looking back, doubts abounded again, and he hurriedly said: "The Palace of Flame and Poison itself got its shoes wet by the river and was punished by others. That's its own business, and what does it have to do with your every step of the way?"

"Well, I lit a fire from it."

Situ Lin explained: "Several of Jiu Miao's seniors went to work in the general's mansion, and the young master of the mansion is the cousin of the imperial concubine, and he has a little friendship with Jiu Miao. At the beginning of the year, I sent my cronies to collect These evidences were handed over to the mansion, and after a few months, it was heard that the imperial court was furious and united with several immortal sects to wipe out that cult in one fell swoop."

"you……"

Looking at the man in purple who is talking and laughing in front of him, and thinking of the mysterious letter he sent to Xiaoqi Xiaoshi before Xianyou Zhai in the past, it may be the so-called "evidence". Apart from concealing it, he was also sweating about his bold behavior of borrowing the hearts of the women in the harem to get rid of the grievances and grievances of the Jianghu.

He said with lingering fear: "It's too risky. If the little general doesn't believe this evidence, or the concubine is bitten back, you and Jiu Miao will be implicated again, what should I do?"

In the rivers and lakes, if you want to return to your kindness, it is all revenge and revenge. Once there is a dispute between the court and the court, it will be dangerous...

"Let's take a gamble."

Different from Yun Zhuo's worried expression, Situ Lin's face was calm: "Anyway, everyone in the palace is for himself, and suddenly there is such evidence, even if it is fake, he will not let it go easily, let alone it is true?"

"Hey, it's still too..."

Although he was very grateful for Situ Lin's dangerous move in order to avenge himself and clear his grievances, Yun Zhuo was still terrified when he thought about it.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly as the man expected.If something really happened, not to mention him, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?

"But, I still have a question."

Bai Xiao, who was listening for a long time, frowned suddenly, and thought: "It doesn't matter if Mr. Bai Ze got the needle, or the Gu worms were tossed and passed into the palace... There are so many secret things that even the people in the court can't find out, how do you know?" where?"

"If you want to find out what's going on inside the palace walls in the capital city, people from the Jianghu are naturally no match for the government. But if you want to find out what's going on in the pagan religions in remote places, the government is no match for the people in the Jianghu."

Situ Lin said: "Disciple Jiu Miao is good at spying on information, the whole story is naturally my investigation."

"Investigation? I'm not right."

The words caught my ears, but Yun Zhuo frowned, and hummed: "Disciple Jiu Miao is good at spying on information, it's true, it's not difficult for you to find out that my second brother got the needle. You have done so many bad things, how did you know the strangeness of this Gu, and went to find out its origin?"

"That's it."

Situ pushed the empty noodle bowl and shook his fingers: "This is the secret of heaven."

"This set again?"

Yun Zhuo put down his chopsticks and was very dissatisfied: "How many twists and turns are there in your head?!"

"Well, there shouldn't be much left." Situ Lin poured a cup of tea slowly.

"Is there not much left?"

Yun Zhuo squinted his eyes: "To put it bluntly, you still have something to hide from me?!"

"Brother Qianxuan..."

Seeing the unfriendly expression on the person beside him, Bai Xiao quickly tugged at his sleeve again: "Let's not hide anything, Brother Situ has avenged you for you anyway. When you left Tianshan, you were the first one to look for him." ?”

"Humph."

Yun Zhuo folded his arms and said angrily: "Now I feel a little blind at the beginning!"

"Really, but I envy Brother Qianxuan very much."

Bai Xiao rested his cheeks in thought: "No matter how stigmatized you are, having such a friend who is willing to do anything for you is really a great blessing in the world."

"Well, it's good to have a knife in both sides."

Listening to the young boy's words, although Yun Zhuo felt a little guilty, his face was still unforgiving: "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a good heart, but such a mouth that needs to be punched, it really makes people hard to love!"

The corner of Situ Lin's lips curled up, and he stopped talking.

Yun Zhuo rolled his eyes and said nothing.

The two were in such a stalemate, neither of them said anything, Bai Xiao didn't know why, so he clapped his hands to smooth things over: "Oh, no matter what, the person who helps Brother Qianxuan is my friend!"

He paused, then half joking and half probing: "Then, Brother Situ, can I call you Brother Lin like Brother Qianxuan in the future?"

"No."

Taking a look at the child, Situ Lin's words were concise and decisive.

……Eh?

The other two on the table looked up in astonishment.

"Because only you, Brother Qianxuan, can call 'Brother Lin'."

Situ Lin closed his fan with a "slap", and concluded with one sentence: "You can call me brother Situ, or brother Ruzhi, but brother Lin anyway."

"Huh? Ruzhi, brother?"

Being rejected for an "unnecessary" reason, Bai Xiao didn't understand why.

"Let's go, we've finished eating, it's time to find an inn to rest."

Situ Lin put down the money, and regardless of the expressions of the two people next to him, he lifted his clothes and stepped up the stone street, his figure gradually drifting away.

It was night, in a small room at the Dongtou Inn in the town, the candles were half-lit.

Bai Xiao went to bed early, Situ Lin disappeared after paying the money, only Yun Zhuo was left, who tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and went to the ground with half a candle in his clothes, thinking wildly.

"Only I can call 'Brother Lin', what does it mean?"

Thinking of the inexplicable words of the person in front of the stall just now, he leaned against the window lattice, puzzled, and sighed helplessly: "It's really interesting to argue with a kid of younger generation..."

"Yun Zhuo."

I didn’t think about it, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, but when I thought about it, I was in a trance, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and there was a certain "elusive" person whispering with a smile that was not a smile, in the silence It was very obvious in the middle of the night.

"Do what?"

Knowing who it was, Yun Zhuo opened the door inexplicably, and saw the man in purple standing with his back to the corridor and his hands behind his back.

Situ Lin said: "I couldn't sleep at night, and you didn't sleep either, why don't you let go of the past?"

Knocking on the door in the middle of the night must have had no good intentions. Remembering the last time "nostalgia" was dragged by this person to read a series of other people's memories, Yun Zhuo raised his eyes and groaned: "What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd again? Daddy!" What's wrong with you in the middle of the night?"

Situ Lin smiled: "Do you still remember the old house in Wuming Village and the roof of the disciple's house?"

Yun Zhuo subconsciously nodded when he was bored with the experience of blowing wind in the middle of the night when he was young.

"So, do I need to say anything else?"

The other party pointed to the half-open window, and said with a smile, "Of course it's the old roof tiles."
